  • I think it’s a pun on the famous press article, titled “J’accuse” (“I accuse” as in I accuse you of doing something), writty by renown author Emile Zola in 1898. In it he took a stand to defend Alfred Dreyfus, a french officer wrongly accused of spying for Germany because he was jewish. But “J’accuse” really doesn’t sound like jacuzzi in French though…




  • About the ethics of murder or other crimes in alternate universes : I actually pondered this quite a bit before. Imagine a world where accessing parallel realities is accessible to everyone (wether it be time traveling or “booking” a divergent universe to do as you wish). Well it could be morally accepted that it’s an OK means of stress relief to insult, vandalize, harm, kill torture in these realities (as long as you behave in the main reality). My conclusion is that hurting people is wrong, even if you can revert the timeline or delete the universe as if you hadn’t done anything. Hurting people in the moment is wrong even if there are no consequences on the world around you, because there is still a lasting change on yourself.










    1. France (born in it)
    2. Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
    3. Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn’t even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
    4. Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
    5. UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double’s. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
    6. Denmark: exchange student in high school. It’s a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
    7. Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn’t my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could’nt swim… 😬

    Looking back, I’m quite privileged 😅
